To the question at hand, There is no ONE THING, it has been a multitude of things, just like in all industry. You can point to some Big things, the ease of entry, the advances in cameras, the ever reducing costs, TGPs, MGPs, Tubes, Social Media.

Being a pornographer allows one to know, before the data comes in, who can do different types of porn, how to shoot, how to market and sell, etc. Yes data will allow one to fine tune it but not tell you what works and doesn't work.
The ease of entry doesn't increase the market size by the rate of people offering the product. It just means everyone gets a smaller slice/crumb of the cake. Imagine a world without cameras anyone can own, TGPs, MGPs, Tubes, Social Media, tools for submitting, etc would raise the bar of entry and do nothing to alter the size of the market.
The worse thing that happened to the porn industry was what Rochard started the thread with.
